GAS-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 651,160, dated JuneApplication filed January 27, 1960. Serial No. 2,936. (No muriel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP S. BRINDLE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Oolumbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Gas-Stoves, of whichthe following isa specification.

My invention relates to the improvement of gas-stoves; and the objectsof myinvention are to provide an improved heating-stove of thischaracter of superior construction and arrangement of parts, to soconstruct myimproved stove as to provide for the radiation of acomparatively-large volume or high degree of heat with the consumption.of a small amount of gas, to provide an improved construction of finesand arrangement and formation of the burner, and to produce otherimprovements the details of construction of which will be more fullypointed out hereinafter. These objects I accomplish in themannerillustratedin the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 isaviewin perspective of my improved stove. Fig. 2 is a central verticalsection of the same, and Fig. 3 is atransverse section on line of Fig.2.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In carrying out my invention I employ a horizontal frame-like baseportion 1, from the corners of which rise supporting-posts 2, which arepreferably of an angular form in crosssection, as shown. These posts aresurmounted by and serve to support a domelike top or cover 3 of suitableoutline and which in the present instance is shown bowed forwardly andlaterally, but provided with a vertical rear wall or back.

Depending from the upper portion' of the stove and from a plane or pointat the base of the top plate 8 is a heat deiecting or radiating casing4t, the latter having its ends and forward side tapering toward itslower end in the manner indicated in the drawings. The casing 4, formedas above described and as shown more clearly in Figs. 2 and 3 of thedrawings, extends to the back wall or vertical back plate 6 of thestove-body, and adjoining the inner side of the latter I provide avertical fine 7, which extends, as shown, to the base of the cap-plateor dome 3, and which in its upper portion is provided with arearwardly-extending outlet 8. As vshown aty 9, the face and sides ofthe casinga are embraced by'an external jacket or casi ing the uppersideof which is open and which forms, as shown more clearly in Fig. frontand side communicating lues 10. The lower and forward portion of theiiue 10 has communicating therewith and extending rearwardly therefromthrough the casing 4 to the i'lues 7 a pipe or flue 11. As indicated at12, the outer faces of the jacket 9 are preferably covered with mineralwool or similar substance, the same material being employed on theexposed port-ion of the back plate 6 adjacent to the stove ends. 13represents the burner of myimproved stove, which is of the well-knowncylindridal form in cross-section and is provided with burner openingsor perforations. It will be observed, however, that in constructing thiscylindricalburner I produce the same of a substantially yoke form, thelonger arm thereof extending in front of the lowerv portion of theheat-radiating jacket 9 and the shorter arms extending at right anglestherewith along the sides of said jacket. The burner thus formed issuitably supported from a downward extension of said casing or jacket.14- represents a horizontal yoke-shaped fender or filling plate thedownturned outer edge of which is, as indicated more clearly in Fig. 2of the drawings, supported in connection with the inner side of theframe 1 by engaging an inner-side socket or slot thereof. rlhe inneredge of this fender-plateis also downturned and termi nates at a slightdistance from the burnerbody 13, result-ing in the formation of anairspace between the fen der-plate and the burner. The burner 13 isprovided with the usual mixer projection 15, into which projects thegas-supply pipe 16. In constructing my improved stove I preferably formin the cap or dome-top 3 a desirable number of openings, one of which isindicated in Fig. 2 at 17. also preferably provide a desired number ofthese openings in the lower portion of the back plate 6, as indicated at18.

In utilizing my improved stove the fiame which'ri'ses from the front andrearwardly-extending arms of the burner 13 is distributed over the woolor asbestos covered sides of the jacket 9, while the heat, burned gases,and other products of combustion passing up on the outer side of saidjacket and following the direction of the arrows in Fig. 2 pass downwardthrough the tlnes 10, thence through the lower transverse fine ll intothe fine '7, and from the latter out through the opening 8. It will beobserved in this connection that the products of combustion afterdescending between the side walls of the casing and jacket will be drawnto the front and passed out through the tlues l1 and 7, together withthe similar products which pass downward through the front portion ot'the flue 10. As indicated by the dotted-line arrows, the air whichenters the openings 1S and which passes upward from the bottom of thestove will pass about the flue 11, and thence upward through thecasinget into the cap or dome 3, from which the air thus heated may passoutward through the openings 17. Owing to the employment ot' thetapering heater-casing and the fact that the burner, which is usuallyarranged across the front of a stove, is provided withrearwardly-extending arms, it will be seen that a largely-increasedheat-radiating sur face is produced from a comparatively-smallstove-body. It will also be observed that providing a space between theburner andthe fender-plate permits air to be drawn therethrough frombelow, which is immediately heated l'rom the burner.

Although I have shown myimproved stove with a flat or vertical back, itis obvious that the back and front might be constructed substan tiallythe same and that the burner might thus be carried across the back aswell as the front and sides without altering the principles of myinvention.

Owing to the provision ol a dome-like top or cap for the stove hereindescribed it will be seen that an upper heat-chamber is produced whichwill greatly assist in the radiation of the heat in the room where thestove is employed.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a gas-stove, the combination with a horizontal base-frame,frame-standards rising therefrom and a convex top plate snri'nountingsaid standards, of inner and ou ter casing-sections 4 and 9 betweenwhich are formed the front and side communicating fines l0, a verticalflue-pipe '7 in the rear portion of said stove and a cross-pipe 1lconnecting the same with said lue-pipe l0, a burner having one armextending across the front portion of said stove, and end arms extendingat right angles therewith across thel sides of said stove, substantiallyas specified.

2. In a gas-stove, the combination with a horizontal hase frame,frame-standards ris ing therefrom and a top plate surmounting saidstandards, of a easing having inwardlyinclined sides and ends,saideasing supported between said top and base and having its uppertermination at a point below the top plate, an outlet for said casing, aburner having one arm extending across the front portion of said stoveand having arms extending at right angles therewith across the sides ot'the stove anda substantiallyyoke-shaped fenderplate adapted to fill thespace between the burner an d base-frame,substantiallyas speci` fied.

PHILIP BRINDLE.
